The antioxidants and flavonoids in oranges and lemons protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, reducing the risk of premature aging, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. They also help lower blood pressure and harmful cholesterol levels, preventing vascular events and heart disease.
Ingredients: water – 4 liters; oranges – 5 pieces; lemons – 2 pieces; sugar – to taste.
Preparation
Wash the oranges and lemons, then chop them with their peels. Add water and sugar to taste. Stir occasionally and let the nectar steep for 4 hours, then strain and enjoy it to your heart’s content.
Life Hack
If you make the nectar using boiled water, cool it before adding it; hot water will make the nectar taste bitter.
